Eric Swalwell is like the most annoying high school girl ever on X. He is a walking, talking dumpster fire of stupid who constantly finds ways to step on proverbial rakes on social media.
Seriously, no one is accidentally this stupid.
It has to be an act.
Case in point, he thought it was smart to claim the FBI won't protect him and his family.
I don’t want anything to happen to @FBIDirectorKash or his girlfriend. Protect her if she’s threatened.

It’s just F’d up that he REFUSES to protect me and my kids from MULTIPLE specific death threats. Same for other Dem colleagues. Can only conclude he wants us dead. https://t.co/nI4etRdLVi
Quite the accusation to make on X, don't you think?
Ben Williamson, the Assistant Director for FBI Public Affairs responded:
Mr. Swalwell is either misinformed or being dishonest - the FBI has not “refused to protect him” in any way. In fact our team personally reached out to his office multiple times, as recently as October 16th, to brief them on options available to Mr. Swalwell and ask whether any… https://t.co/aTItJxeAEP

Post continues:
... any individual threats were not being addressed per his accusation. His own office advised 1) they were clear on what threats should be reported to USCP vs. FBI, and 2) they were not aware of any specific threats that would require special attention for Mr. Swalwell.
FBI checked in with the USCP again on November 4 to follow up, and USCP again reported no individual threats to Mr. Swalwell.
Director Patel has instructed our team to maintain an aggressive posture toward protecting public officials from threats. That includes Mr. Swalwell. We protect all Americans and stand ready to engage with his team at any time.
Oopsie.
And we imagine Swalwell is both uninformed AND lying.
It's who he is.
He snapped back:
Spare me the bullshit. I don’t need you to reach out. Go arrest the monsters threatening my kids. Which you REFUSE to do. But when a MAGA supporter is threatened you’re Johnny-on-the-Spot.

Kash’s girlfriend has better protection than any Democrat in Congress. You want us dead. https://t.co/DX3H0ucr2f
What a horrific and horrible thing to say, especially after the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
You preach violence. Which we all have seen play out. Shame on you.

Yup. That's about all he knows how to do other than threaten members of the Trump administration and have inappropriate relationships with Chinese Spies.
